A mix of sculpture, installation, photography, drawing, collage, and performance in which gay culture and disco figure prominently.

Whitney Biennale

Craftwork, and the use of everyday materials, are central to Holstad’s practice. Labour-intensive, often collaborative techniques such as sewing, knitting and crocheting feature strongly in his work, embodying his interest in the tactile object and its ability to convey sensuality and comfort while resisting the increasing ‘virtuality’ of contemporary life.
